AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS (10/12/2022)
This week’s show kicks off with the usual AEW Dynamite theme song and then we shoot live inside the Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Our live, first-ever international broadcast of the weekly AEW on TBS program kicks off with the commentary team welcoming us to the show.
Renee Paquette Joins AEW Broadcast Team
From there, we shoot down to the ringside area as it’s time to get the 10/12/2022 episode off-and-running here on TBS. After the fireworks explode and the camera pans the crowd, we hear Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, Taz and the newest member of the AEW Dynamite broadcast team — Renee Paquette.
Renee Paquette Interviews Christian Cage
With that said, Paquette introduces herself to the crowd, and gets a big pop in the process. She welcomes us to the show and then introduces her guest at this time, Canada’s own, Christian Cage. His theme hits and out he comes to join her on the entrance ramp.
Grudge Match
Luchasaurus vs. Jungle Boy
Once the brief interview with Christian Cage wraps up, Renee Paquette sends things down to the ring where it’s time to get our first match of the evening underway. With that said, Luchasaurus settles inside the ring.
The theme for his opponent now plays as “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry emerges and heads to the ring. The commentators talk about the lengthy history between these two former tag-team partners turned bitter rivals as this one-on-one grudge match gets in-ring action started on the first-ever AEW Dynamite show from Canada.
As the bell sounds we see these two immediately get after it, with Jungle Boy’s speed faring well early on. It is the power and strength of Luchasaurus, however, that sees the masked-man take over as we head to a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.
When we return from the break, we hear Christian Cage has joined the gang on special guest commentary for this one. Meanwhile, Jungle Boy is using ferocious and lightning fast kicks to fight back into competitive form. He starts to take over, but Luchasaurus immediately shifts the momentum in his favor. He goes for a big chokeslam on a table, however Jungle Boy avoids it.
On the apron, we see him try again, but yet again, Perry avoids it. Moments later, Jungle Boy reverses Luchasaurus and he puts him through the table and gets a huge pop and subsequent “Holy sh*t” chant from the Toronto fans for his efforts. We see several replays of this wild spot and then we hear Tony Schiavone inform us that Christian Cage has left his position at the commentary desk and is now at ringside.
Soon after this we see things work its’ way to the finish, which features Luchasaurus spiking Jungle Boy twice in a row, with the final off the top high-spot setting up the pin fall and the victory for the big-masked man.
Winner: Luchasaurus
Wardlow & Samoa Joe vs. Nick Comoroto & Aaron Solo
We head back to the ring for a tag-team match, and this time it will be the duo collectively known as WarDog — Wardlow and Samoa Joe, taking on the team of Nick Comoroto and Aaron Solo from The Factory.
The bell sounds and we’re off-and-running with our second match of the evening. This one doesn’t last long at all, and ultimately sees the WarJoe duo pull off the quick squash match style victory.
Winners: WarJoe
Renee Paquette Talks To The Firm, Matt Hardy
We shoot backstage and Renee Paquette is standing by with The Firm. “All Ego” Ethan Page goes on to challenge Private Party’s Isiah Kassidy to a match on this Friday’s edition of AEW Rampage on TNT. If Kassidy wins, the team of Private Party is free from The Firm. If “All Ego” Ethan Page wins, The Firm will also own Matt Hardy’s contract.
Chris Jericho With A Message For Daniel Garcia: “You Broke Up Our Happy Family”
Still to come tonight it’s Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson III for the ROH World Championship. We shoot backstage to a quick interview with Chris Jericho and the Jericho Appreciation Society. They mention that “you made this personal when you broke up our happy family” when talking about Daniel Garcia.
Shane “Swerve” Strickland vs. “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn
Now it’s time to head back to the ring for our next match of the evening, which will be another singles contest. It will be Shane “Swerve” Strickland going one-on-one against “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn.
After both guys make their way to the ring, the bell sounds and this one gets underway. We see some early back-and-forth action and then we go to a commercial break as the action continues.
As we return from the break, we see Gunn go for the FameAssEr, however Strickland avoids it. Strickland reverses another Gunn move and hooks the rope with his arm to steal the win.
Winner: Shane “Swerve” Strickland
The Acclaimed Check On “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn
We see The Acclaimed come out to check on DadAss but here’s “Smart” Mark Sterling. Sterling reminds The Acclaimed that Sterling now owns the trademark to the term “scissor me” in professional wrestling. Acclaimed can no longer scissor in the ring, and all money sold from their merch goes to Sterling.
MJF Isn’t Afraid To Tell The Story …
From there, we shoot to Alex Marvez who is standing by with MJF. Stokely Hathaway interrupts. MJF tells Stokely he doesn’t need to be interrupted, and he didn’t need the help last week, so Stokely should take his “Carlton Banks wardrobe and get to stepping.”
MJF doesn’t know if he was going to shake Wheeler Yuta’s hand last week, but he has no problem being the villain, because he doesn’t even like himself when he steps through the curtain. MJF says he has stories of William Regal, and he doesn’t want to have to share them.
Jon Moxley & “Hangman” Adam Page Go Face-To-Face Before Upcoming Title Tilt
It’s time for the final hype leading up to the upcoming AEW World Championship showdown between current title-holder Jon Moxley and challenger / former champion “Hangman” Adam Page.
Tony Schiavone is here and welcomes Jon Moxley to the ring. Moxley quickly takes the mic from Schiavone and damn, it is good to be in Toronto. Being a world champion isn’t all fun and games, people think this is what they want, but they don’t. Moxley says the world champion doesn’t have the luxury of being anxious, it’s a dirty job and you’ve got to be ruthless and indiscriminate. He says he loves the job because of all that.
Now out comes “Hangman” Adam Page and he says he would be lying if he said that the comments Moxley made about him last week did not mean the world to him. Moxley is a hell of a champion, father, husband, and there have been times when Hangman saw the man he wanted to be in Moxley. Moxley shattered the illusions last week when he called Hangman a “kid” last week.
Moxley doesn’t think Hangman is the same guy that knocked him off a 20-foot ladder a year ago. Hangman says he hesitated in May and it cost him. All of Hangman’s friends have disappeared, including his old friends. Hangman is a 31-year-old man, a husband, a father, and he’s a man, damn it.
Hangman punches himself in the face several times and MJF is eating popcorn. Hangman knows what he has to do in Cincinnati next week and he will beat Moxley within an inch of his life in front of his family next week. Hangman has a shot and will take it next week. Hangman wanted to tell Moxley that face to face and man to man, unlike MJF. That’s how this segment wraps up.
ROH World Championship
“The Ocho” Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson
It’s time for our first of two scheduled title matches here on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. The theme for “The American Dragon” hits and out comes Bryan Danielson. The challenger settles in the ring and awaits the entrance of the champion.
“Judas” by Fozzy plays and out comes “The Ocho” Chris Jericho himself. The real-life “wizard” of pro wrestling heads to the ring for his advertised ROH World Championship title defense against the aforementioned Blackpool Combat Club member.
The bell sounds and we’re off-and-running with this one. We see these two go back-and-forth in the early goings and then as Danielson starts to gain the upper-hand, we head to a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.
After we return from the break, we see some more back-and-forth action until finally Daniel Garcia makes his way out. Just as it seems he is going to help Danielson fend off Jericho, he instead savagely attacks “The American Dragon,” providing the assist for “The Ocho” to retain his ROH World title.
Winner and STILL ROH World Champion: Chris Jericho
TBS Women’s Title Bout Set For AEW Rampage
We head backstage where Renee Paquette is standing by with Nyla Rose, Marina Shafir and Vickie Guerrero. Nyla, who still has possession of the TBS Women’s title, mentions how possession is nine-tenths of the law. This leads to Anna J.A.S. approaching her and challenging her to a shot at the title she has possession of on this week’s AEW Rampage.
Jamie Hayter & Dr. Britt Baker vs. Hikaru Shida & Toni Storm
It’s now time for women’s tag-team action, with Jamie Hayter and Dr. Britt Baker making their way down to the ring. They settle inside and their music dies down.
The lights go down and now the theme for Hikaru Shida plays and out she comes. She is eventually joined by Interim AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm. The bell sounds and we’re off-and-running with this one.
Shida and Hayter start off as Shida pushes Hayter and asks for Baker to tag in. Hayter fights back and hits a big chop but Shida responds with a dropkick. Storm tagged in and just clubbing on Hayter and follows with a big kick.
She sends Hayter in the corner but Baker distracts her leading to a big boot by Hayter as we go to commercial. Back from the break Baker and Shida are now in the ring and Shida with a flurry of elbows and a jumping knee on Baker.
Ten punches now from Shida as Hayter breaks it up but Shida suplexes her into the ring! She suplexes Baker onto Hayter! Springboard Meteora from Shida for a two count! Hayter with a big backbreaker to break it up; Storm with a bulldog to Hayter but Baker takes her out! Britt is looking for the Lockjaw as Hayter and Baker double team Shida.
Stomp by Baker 1…2…NO! Storm able to break it up and sends Hayter to the outside. Tornado DDT on Baker now then a sick Storm Zero! 1….2….Hayter breaks it up! She fires up as the crowd is behind her but Shida respond with a springboard kick as Storm takes out Hayter. Baker with a cradle for two and transitions into the Lockjaw!
Shida rolls over 1…2….NO! Shida hits The Deal and Baker rolls through as both women exchange rollups as Shida gets the last one 1….2….3!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & Toni Storm
AEW All-Atlantic Championship
PAC (c) vs. Orange Cassidy
It’s main event time here on AEW Dynamite in Toronto — the first-ever international episode of the weekly two-hour AEW on TBS television program.
AEW ring announcer “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts introduces us to our main event as Orange Cassidy comes out to a BIG pop! He looks calm but focused as they run down PAC and OC fighting the past few weeks.
PAC also comes out to a good reaction and looks as angry and hungry as I have ever seen. PAC taunts OC as we kick off the main event! OC immediately misses an orange punch and PAC takes him out with a big clothesline! OC back at it with forearms but PAC sends him into the corner and follows with a kick.
PAC puts OC’s hands in his pocket and mocks his kick! OC just takes it as the crowd builds up but OC comes back with a kip up dropkick and tope! PAC catches him and hits a sickening Falcon Arrow on the floor. Craziness. We head to a mid-match commercial break shortly after this as the action continues.
As we settle back in from the break, after some shifts in offensive momentum, we work our way to the finish of this one. We see Cassidy connect with a wild Orange Punch for a close near fall, however PAC hangs on and keeps this one alive.
The action continues and after Danhausen comes out and puts a curse on PAC, we see the “Freshly Squeezed” one connect with a big northern lights into a brutalizer and then another Orange Punch for good measure. He gets the pin fall victory and we have ourselves a new AEW All-Atlantic Champion.
The show ends with Cassidy, Danhausen and The Best Friends giving the people what they want — a Best Friends Hug. Cassidy’s title celebration continues as this week’s AEW Dynamite goes off the air from Toronto, ONT.
Winner and NEW AEW All-Atlantic Champion: Orange Cassidy
